Not every pain in the chest need be a symptom of heart attack. Detect yourself with the new nano detective. Kudos!!!!!!!!!!!! To the team of Indian scientists and engineers for developing nano sensors. These sensors are developed using nano materials to detect a heart attack.
The prototype would be introduced as a portable device in the market.
Professor, V. Ramgopal Rao, (IIT-Mumbai) said that the device with nano sensors detects a heart attack and transmits its signal to doctors located remotely, through a wireless interface for prompt diagnosis and intervention. Mr Rao said, "With so many Indians prone to heart diseases irrespective of age and gender, the portable device will enable cardiac diagnosis affordable and quick as against multiple and expensive tests carried out presently using conventional methods,"
Mechanism: The sensors detect a cardiac symptom by converting any abnormal movement in the cardiac into an electrical signal, using nano electrical mechanical system (NEMS) of its polymer material.
Severe stress or strain can cause the heart to release redundant enzymes, stimulating pressure on its blood vessels. This stress symptom (myocardial infarction) manifested in the form or perspiration, chest pain or even a cardiac arrest is mensurated by the built-in cantilever of the sensor and changed over into an electrical signal. The cantilever is built using nano-particles of the polymer, measured as one billionth of a metre (39”). These nano-particles in a polymer generate an electrical current through biochemical process of the enzymes produced in the heart. Thus, the diagnosis is made quicker and easier.
According to a recent survey, about 60 per cent of the heart diseases worldwide are belike to fall out in India by the year-end. The high risk is owing to insalubrious diet, smoking, physical inactivity and changing lifestyle and sedentary life in urban areas causing emotional and physical strain. It is also reported that the risk is likely by 50 per cent for the people below 50 years and 25 per cent for the people falling under the age of 40. This is really a boon in such likeliness of risk.
